Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0566828A2] In such a length measuring device for measuring the relative position of two objects (1, 2), the graduation on a scale carrier (4) is scanned by a scanning unit to obtain positional measured values. In order to compensate temperature-induced measuring errors, the scale carrier (4) is fixedly connected to a first fixed point (P1) within the measuring length, and otherwise connected in a longitudinally displaceable manner to a support body (3). The support body (3) is, for its part, fixedly connected to a second fixed point (P2) within the measuring length, and otherwise connected in a longitudinally displaceable manner to one (1) of the objects. The first fixed point (P1) and/or the second fixed point (P2) can be varied within the measuring length. <IMAGE>
